Book excerpt: "Between 1862 and 1878 a group of Amish ministers and lay people gathered annually to discuss differences in religious practices that had emerged within their scattered congregations. Known as the Dienerversammlungen - or ministers' meetings - these annual conferences proved to be a pivotal moment in the history of the Amish and Mennonite churches. The goal of the Dienerversammlungen had been to maintain unity within the fellowship amidst the many vexing issues that threatened to divide the group. By the end of the 1860s, however, the lines dividing the more progressive group (eventually to become known as the 'Amish Mennonites') from the more conservative group (the 'Old Order Amish') had become painfully clear."--Back cover.
